Finally! Finally I finished one of the craft projects I had hoped to finish up last week. My first attempt at it just was not turning out the way I wanted so I ended up basically re-doing it. My friend Janie bought a handmade garland for her kitchen window. I can't remember the exact phrase of her garland now but it was squares of stamped letters that spelled out "joy" or "noel" or something of that sort. I loved it and have thought about it ever since. I decided I would try my hand at making my own and here is the result.
As usual I went a little overboard and ended up making four different words and hung them throughout the house. The above "peace" is on our living room mantle.
In our kitchen:
Gabrielle's room (because she informed Ed the other day she did not have enough decorations in her room):
Samantha's room (because we have to keep things fair and even you know):
And now for just a cute little photo of the girls on the couch snuggled with their Christmas
blankies:
Gabrielle made some new decorations for outside today as well - birdseed ornaments! We found this idea in a Christmas craft book I bought for her from the school's Scholastic book order. It is Angelina Ballerina which Gabrielle adores. This particularly craft was so simple and a lot of fun. We're just waiting for everything to dry and harden enough to hang outside tomorrow on the porch for our little birdie friends.
